Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU/JADU) 

California Housing laws have loosened many of the restrictions that once made it costly and often prohibitive for home owners to build accessory dwelling units, a.k.a. "granny flats". New State laws now mandate local building departments to offer a streamline permitting process, which has reduced administrative approvals to a few weeks as oppose to months.

A few benefits to building an ADU/JADU

• Independent living space for family member or close friend in need of housing
• Rental income to offset the mortgage
• Investment in future property value appreciation
• Provide housing options for locals, like first responders
• Reduce homelessness in your community

Jr. Accessory Dwelling Units

JADU's aka "carve-out unit" are ADU's with a slight twist.

Current planning and zoning ordinances now authorize local agencies to allow for the creation of 2nd units within existing single-family and multifamily residential building structures, however with a few notable limits and restrictions.

Of the few, are limits on the size of space, restrictions prohibiting the use of gas or propane fired ovens or stove tops, limits on kitchen sink size, requirements for exterior door access, bathroom access etc.

As an example, let's say you’re an empty-nester looking for ways to make a little extra income month-to-month. Well, that spare guest bedroom is your potential gold mine just waiting to be discovered.

By simply adding a separate door entrance to the outside, converting the closet into a mini efficiency kitchenette with nice cabinets, small quartz counter-top, mini refrigerator, laminate or ceramic tile flooring, pop-in a 16" x 16" sink with gooseneck faucet, and Voilà! you've got yourself a really nice rental unit ready to put on the market.

Now you're not only helping yourself make some extra income, you're also helping to meet the needs for more available affordable housing in your community, a real win-win!.
